About GALASSI René
Nice, this lively city animated by the humming rhythm of la dolce vita, is where René GALASSI lives and creates his paintings, sculptures and etchings.
His passion was inspired by his Italian family: traditional cabinet markers on his father's side and musicians on his mother's side. He had been immersed in this creative world and, as a young man, he decided to devote himself to the artistic endeavor.
The encounter with Henri Baviera introduced René Galassi to the world of etchings and its specific techniques. Till this day, one can observe how his fascinating etchings are marked by precision, care and patience.
The intense emotions triggered by the explosion of light that reigns over the Old Town and Cours Saleya are translated with the same meticulousness. The unique southern light projected onto the foam of the blue waves is represented by the self-taught artist on different media. Galassi's multidisciplinary talent gives birth to creations manifested on unusual supports, such as his paper Calicots. In his own vision, forms projects itself in order to transform and vivify matter and give birth to itself. The eruption of light and color, formed by pigment and passion, makes each creation an ode to the Mediterranean Sea.
Lives and works in Nice, France.
